Used Brother or Babylock

gayleJune 9, 2006

I have fallen in love with the Brother and Babylock sewing + embroidery machines, but can't afford a new one. Does anyone know where I could buy a used one? I have tried ebay a couple of times without success, although I haven't given up hope yet.

We lucked up & found one for my daughter from an individual. I still sit amazed at what we got it for. Another thing I would suggest is to check estate sales. I have heard of people finding sergers & sewing machines at them.If you're not from a large area, you may have access to their newspapers to locate them.

Sometimes Walmart, Costco, or online stores will have those models with the savings realized in no tax and free shipping from the on-line stores.

Also be aware that if you want to do machine embroidery, the expense does not stop at the machine...there is thread (can't use regular sewing thread), needles, stabilizers, hoops, and other necessities that go with the embroidery side of the machine.

I would keep saving the pennies so you can afford the additional expense...trying to get by cheap sometimes turns out more expensive than it's worth in machine repairs and no warranty.

Keep looking. they upgraded the ellageo model last year so I was able to get the old version at a discount. I have sewn with brother or baby lock forever it seems and I adore them. hey are worth every penny. um dollar .. um every thousand.

I have a Babylock EMP-6 that I would love to get rid of if you are interested. It is about a year old and has less than 30 hours total use. My father bought it right before his heart attack. It comes with extra hoops/cap attachments, Origins software, backing, a few boxes of caps, pretty much everything you need to start up. If interested either email me back or call me at (918) 697-2311
